The integration of photonics and electronics is the main technical path to solve the problems of "high speed, low power consumption, intelligence" faced by information technology, and has shown great technical advantages and potential. Integrated photoelectric information/signal processing technology, facilitated by photoelectric integrated circuits, offer distinct advantages including low interconnect latency, high bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and low power consumption. After decades of development, information/signal processing devices have developed from fiber optic devices, passive integration, and active integration to photoelectric integration. At present, information/signal processing technologies face three major challenges: ultra-high speed, ultra-low power consumption, and intelligent integration.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of ongoing progress and trends in advancing the knowledge, understanding, and novel applications of integrated photoelectric information/signal processing technology. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Photoelectric materials and devices for signal processing
- Ultrafast nonlinear photonics science
- Programmable and integrated photonics for signal processing
- Integrated Photonics for AI and neuromorphic computing
- Integrated Photonic signal processing for sensing and communications
- Integrated photonics for 6G networks
- AI/machine learning for photonic device design and signal processing
- Integrated microwave photonic signal processing and sensing
- Optical frequency combs for photonic signal processing
- Quantum photonic signal processing
